Year 26 was hard. Flat hard. However, it’s the year I learned the most. 

So without further ado, here are 26 things I learned this year. 

1. A relationship does not define you.

2. It is okay to be alone.

3. You are stronger than you think.

4. Tomorrow is a new day. 

5. You need a good support system. Family, friends, co-workers.

6. Pain is temporary.

7. Silence is powerful.

8. Get rid of items that don’t bring you joy. 

9. We, as humans, don’t deserve pets. They are salt of the earth. 

10. An iced coffee can cure just about anything.

11. The Keto diet & a good workout program does wonders. 

12. Buy the plane ticket. 

13. Dance and sing as loud as you can, as if no one is watching. 

14. Say yes, even if you’re scared. 

15. Take pictures. That means selfies, too.

16. Confrontation can be difficult but handle it with class & grace.

17. Cherish the quiet moments as much as you do the fun ones. 

18. Let people help you. You are not weak by asking for help. 

19. Keep your life private. Social media doesn’t need to know everything. 

20. If you can dream it, you can do it. 

21. Be the kind of friend you need/want. 

22. Do not be ashamed of the rewards you reap. 

23. It is okay to show emotion. It means you care/cared. 

24. Be proud of yourself. 

25. You are absolutely 110 million percent enough, just the way you are. 

26. Happiness will find you again & when it does, welcome it; arms wide open. 

Hello, 27. May you be kind to my heart.
